Age? Waist measurement? Are you deadlifting MWF? Get your form checked.
I'm in week 8 of my NLP and my deadlifts suck. I am 6'1" and 250lbs. My deadlifts are currently at 235 for set of 5 and I recently switched from 10lb jumps to 5 lb jumps, in comparison I'm currently at 230 for my squat for 3 sets of 5. I'm thinking for my "B" workout I would rotate a heavy day and a med/light day for my Deadlifts.
So for my heavy day I would do 1 set of 5. So Lets say I do this on Monday, Then on Friday I would do a lighter deadlift day. I was thinking in the 80%-90% range of my heavy day. Do you think it would be best for me to do just 1 set of 5 on this lighter day? Or should I add more volume to it? I really want to get my deadlifts jump started, and I could use the added work to grease the grove and improve my form on it.
What do you guys think of this? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

+1 on the form check recommendation
squats could be high (depth wise), causing artificially high squat working weights
